https://twitter.com/jfitzsimons, a physicist academic turned startup entrepreneur, believes that developing software using quantum computing is equivalent to programming computers in the 1940s or developing for Arpanet in the 60s. But his company, https://www.horizonquantum.com/, is about to launch a software development platform that will, he says, enable developers who are proficient in languages like C and C++ to build quantum computing applications.

That will be the so-called “quantum advantage” level, when quantum computing will outperform classical computing in certain use cases.

Horizon isn’t the only company attempting to create a quantum computing software platform.

That said, 2023 is shaping up to be the turning point for quantum computing software development, with significant gains in both hardware and software likely.
